Job description

Company overview

Voltility is a market intelligence platform for the people building, powering and financing the energy transition and data centre power markets. We track battery storage and hybrid power projects across the US and Europe, and in 2026 launched data-centre power coverage.

Following new investment we're growing the team quickly, so this is a chance to join early and help shape the business at an exciting time.

Role overview

The Squad Lead for Regulatory leads Voltility's coverage of the rules, processes and public context that shape the US power market on both sides of the meter. That runs from federal and wholesale market level through state regulators and utilities down to the local layer of permitting, zoning and community decision-making, and includes how projects are perceived by the public.

You'll become the subject-matter expert that regulators, utilities, local officials, advisers and advocates want to talk to. You'll help decide what Voltility tracks, build the network to get ahead of change, and combine market intelligence with AI-collected data to create regulatory data sets that span both generation and load. You'll work closely with journalists and analysts to turn that change into intelligence customers act on, while coaching researchers along the way.
